For the first round its Silverstone buggy club on the Astroturf matey, not Mota Arena as first listed.

I would get a set of fastrax Koarse Kings spikes or Fastrax Bullseyes studs on your truck for Astroturf,

you will use them again at , EPR, NDOR and A1 Racing Club rounds... the other rounds at Adur, Coventry and Moto Arena you will need something suitable for dirt.
:thumbsup:

Blitz kit tyres on front and attk10 on rear work well on astro and grass (ask graveltrap :thumbsup: )

Yeah yeah yeah....Living on past glories and all that Chris ;)

It was the grass that the ATTK10's where really good mind, but now we have Kourse Kings...

Youre right, nothing better for astro as kourse kings, cut away the outher row(s).

I have to savour my victories, they are few and far between these days :p

Fastrax Bullseyes studs work very well on astro with 4wd trucks, very cheap when they come glued on rims ready to go but they are softer and wear rate will be high,

so probably false economy over a set of Koarse Kings which would probably last you the whole series going on the set i abused or 6 months nearly!

Will be trying the Bullseyes on grass at our Regionals though, hopeully not as aggressive for 4WD grip rolling

Im new to this shortcourse thing and a bit confused about tyres. My stock blitz tyres grip roll my truck on both astro and carpet and it wheelies on tarmac. I have read that there are better tyres out there to use, but if mine rolls over around corners (when going fast) why do people look for an even grippier tyre? If it rolls and wheelies, does that mean maximum grip has been achieved?

I only use the spikes (grippy tyres) on the rear of my SC10, this promotes more rear grip and makes the truck push on a bit, reducing the possibility of grip roll.

If the truck is pulling wheelies then the slipper clutch is probably set to tight

Hi Dom,
I run stock tyres on the front of my blitz and will be running Kourse Kings on the rear too for the first round.
You may need to change the position of your shocks too as it will help with grip.
I'm sure if you speak to a few of us running blitz's at silverstone we'll be able to help you with set-up and stuff to get you running better without grip rolling.

Thanks for the advice. Sunday should be loads of fun. What happens if it rains loads? Do people still race in the wet? I have only raced on an indoor circuit before.

Do we have details on start times etc. yet?

ditto?

would be nice to plan when i have to get out of bed!

Got asked same question by all our drivers attending sunday too,

Is track open or practice saturday? sure i asked that a week or so ago?

Start times for Sunday?
 

Hi Frecklychimp,

Cheers carlos1969

The venom gambler is ready to go, just need to tell it when:thumbsup:

Hi Carlos,

i have no idea on time schedule for Sunday's meeting either, hopefully an organiser will pick up on these questions and let us know asap.

have sent you a PM regarding A1 Racing Club information :thumbsup:

I'm waiting on the times for sunday as well. This could be the deciding factor of entering or not.

I'm also quite keen to know some details of times and race format and numbers etc :bored:

Hi All,
Sorry for delay I've been a little snowed under.
Yes there will be practice on the saturday from 08:30 hrs, however you will have to park your car at the club house and walk to the track, there won't be any timing gear set up.
The gate will open at 08:00hrs on the sunday, to allow people to arrive and set up. Parking will be in the field next to the sports pavillion.
Drivers briefing will be at 09:50 with First round of qualifying will be on the line at 10:00. There will be 4 x rounds qual and 3 round finals (best 2 to count) depending on numbers it is hoped to have a maximum of 10 trucks in any heat.
An entry list will be published on the website shortly.
Please keep an eye on the web-site too. I will try to answer any other questions asap.
Please feel free to PM if you have any burning issues.

Is the track open for free practice from 8am till briefing on the sunday ?? Or are you doing 1 practice in heat order etc. ?

Thanks for the details on A1 will be coming over for sure! perhaps you could bring membership forms or whatever i need to do to join your club on Sunday,we have times at last :woot:UOTE=Frecklychimp;492389]Hi Carlos,
